Emil i basically an 1870-designb British locomotive.

British steam locomotives do NOT have headlights.

They have between one and four teeny lamps the size of marker lights one top centre of the smokebox, and three lined up alongthe piolt beam - one at each corner and one in the middle.

Look up the UK locomotive headlamp code to see whcih is suitable for what YOU want to do.

And while we are at it, if anybody is interested in making their Emily look more like the REAL Patrick Stirling 8ft single of the Great Northern Railway, I have arranged for the UK large-scale model company - Garden Railway Specialists of Princes Risborough - to put together a package of suitable conversion/add-on details parts.

Costs around $100 with shipping extra - IF you are interested, email them  - nikki@grsuk.com - and tell them that tac foley sent you.

BTW - I get nothing from this - they don't do my particular thang.
